Research and development (R&D) investment is widely recognised as one of the crucial elements of generating the competitive advantage of contemporary companies. At the same time, it is also considered to represent one of the key determinants of overall sustainable development. Global competition, which is becoming increasingly harsh and forces companies to provide value-added products, processes and services, constitutes a reason why R&D investment is indispensable in contemporary business operations as they facilitate keeping the companies’ position in the market in terms of their competitiveness. The main aim of this paper is therefore to examine the impact of R&D expenditures on corporate performance. Using a multiple regression analysis, two different panel datasets covering Slovenian and world R&D companies are analysed. This gives a unique opportunity to obtain comprehensive and interesting findings, representing the main originality and value of the paper. The empirical results reveal that R&D expenditures are not effective in the short-term period and bring certain benefits in the long-term period. The findings of this paper provide several important theoretical and practical implications.

Abstract: Ulcus decubitus is a serious dermal (skin) problem, especially for the unconscious patients with the lack of mobilization hospitalized in the ICU. It appears in the area which is localizedwith the necrotic tissues; it also usually appears on the surface of protruding bones, resulted fromthe long term pressure which increases the capillary pressure. This study was purposed to analyzethe effectiveness of the use of VCO to the patient with the risk of having ulcus decubitus in thecentral ICU of Rumkital Dr. Ramelan Surabaya (Surabaya Navy Hospital). The design used in thisstudy was case study done by investigating a problem through one case comprising of a single unit.The variable used in this study was the use of VCO to the patient with the risk of ulcus decubitus.The data were analyzed descriptively done by using inductive approach. The result of this studyconcludes that the use of VCO to Mr. M who has the risk of impaired skin integrity is effective toprevent decubitus.

Abstract. In this study the feasibility of using inverse vadose zone modeling for estimating field scale actual evapotranspiration (ETa) was explored at a long-term agricultural monitoring site in eastern Nebraska. Data from both point scale soil water content sensors (SWC) and the area-average technique of cosmic-ray neutron probes were evaluated against independent ETa estimates from a co-located eddy covariance tower. While this methodology has been successfully used for estimates of groundwater recharge it was critical to assess the performance of other components of the water balance such as ETa. In light of the recent evaluation of Land Surface Model (LSM) performance from the plumber experiment, independent estimates of hydrologic state variables and fluxes are critically needed benchmarks. The results here indicate reasonable estimates of daily and annual ETa from the point sensors but with highly varied soil hydraulic function parameterizations due to local soil texture variability. The results of multiple soil hydraulic parameterizations leading to equally good ETa estimates is consistent with the hydrological principle of equifinality. While this study focused on one particular site the framework can be easily applied to other SWC monitoring networks across the globe. The value added products of groundwater recharge and ETa flux from the SWC monitoring networks will provide additional and more robust benchmarks for the validation of LSM that continue to improve their forecast skill. In addition, the value added products of groundwater recharge and ETa often have more direct impacts on societal decision making than SWC alone. Water flux impacts human decision making from policies on the long-term management of groundwater resources (recharge), to yield forecasts (ETa), and to optimal irrigation scheduling (ETa). Illustrating the societal benefits of SWC monitoring is critical to insure the continued operation and expansion of these public datasets.

Coconut as a results farming is listed and abundant in the province Lampung, especially in Bandar Lampung. In Bandar Lampung, has vegetable sales community that stated in the Bumi Waras region, Teluk Betung Selatan County. One of the concerns of the vegetables sales community is a coconut results farmer. We take a vegetable sales community as a partner in this activity, because they have a lot of problems about coconut after sales. Coconut that not salable sold will be moldy and decaying in fast. There should be a way to overcome this problem by making a coconut likeness of the derivative products. The solution offered to overcome the problems is right to the application of technology to process the oil into products were chosen in terms of coconut by virgin coconut oil (vco) using the tools for the coconut cutting process easier and more efficient. In such a manner as there will be increasing the levels of value added of coconut into a product with higher derivatives of the having the benefit of and higher selling values. By this activity involved in marketing devotion is also arranging training on any process affecting the production the virgin coconut oil (vco) on the home industry scale. The selection of products VCO is because the easy to process and small capital, so will not burdensome to the public to go into business. With the assistance of the coconut cutting machine raising revenue among traders because the device is versatile and it could also be used to help the VCO production process. A method of the activities that would be used in their business over the devotion this is the method involving a partner or members of the population, especially a vegetable sales in their activities to get as a whole. The implementation of this activity in addition the results showed in the form of a cutting machine of the coconut from which equipped with a motor with a fuel and other equipment to press coconut to get coconut milk also needs to be undertaken a rise in their ability and knowledge partner or a member of community of a vegetable sales through training coconut product development in this case the practice of making VCO including the packaging commercially. The goals of this training were to the ability of making a product VCO can be to raise the income of in the programs as well.

Research background: Building effective conditions for doing business and sup-porting entrepreneurs is currently considered as a basic growth determinant. It is a policy objective not only at the national level, but also an important factor influencing the competitive potential of regions and local communities. It is especially important in the case of Central European countries and regions that face the problem of closing development gap. Therefore, comparative research with regard to entrepreneurship conditions, especially at spatially lower aggregation level, can provide important background for proposing policy guidelines.     Purpose of the article: The main objective of the article is to analyse changes in disparities in regard to entrepreneurship conditions in Poland at NUTS 3 level in the years 2010 and 2015. Methods: The entrepreneurship conditions are analysed based on 5 criteria. As a result, they are considered as a multiple-criteria phenomenon. Therefore, in the article the dynamic analysis was implemented, where taxonomic measure of development was assessed with TOPSIS method based on median vector Weber. The obtained taxonomic measure allowed to rank the NUTS 3 regions starting with the ones characterised with the best conditions for entrepreneurs to the ones with the worst conditions, to group then into relatively homogenous subsets, and finally to verify the changes in the disparities between the regions in the analysed period. Findings & Value added: The research confirms that in spite of visible improvements significant disparities at the regional level in regard to entrepreneurial conditions should be considered as an actual and important problem for regional policy in Poland. This factor can negatively affect the possibilities of reaching spatially sustainable growth objectives. From the long-term perspective, the disparities can still negatively affects social and political growth environment in Poland.

The following article is a review of possible strategies of the coconut sector facing the carbon market, through the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Protocol of Kyoto, but also through Non-Kyoto (voluntary) initiatives. It sums up the conditions for certifying plantations, together with recent statistics of similar projects accepted by UNFCCC, which are currently displaying a rapid growth rate. It stresses the complexity of the CDM, but also the accessibility for coconut energy & afforestation + reforestation (A/R) projects, considering that coconut plantations do actually correspond to the definition of “forest”. Using recent scientific information on C cycle of coconut plantations and coconut oil, it proposes also a simulation of the expected potential profitability of coconut energetic and A/R projects. From the point of view of the farmer and of the oil mill, in absence of any CDM project (the reference here), the value-added comes mainly from local processing of the copra into coconut oil. When implementing a short-term A/R project (t-CER), the value-added by C fixation in the ecosystem would be ca. +15 to +19%, as compared to the copra and oil references. When implementing a long-term project (l-CER), the value-added would reach +40 to +52%. When implementing an energy-oil project solely, the value-added by C fixation in the coconut oil would be only +5% (this not including other benefits at national scale, however). When implementing a dual A/R + energy-oil project, the value-added by C fixation would be +19% for t-CER, and +45% for l-CER with respect to the copra and oil references. These results are just potential values given for example, suspected to vary much according to the actual conditions of coconut plantation productivity, management and also C market conditions. However, the simulation clearly supports every APCC initiative in this direction.

The paper is devoted to questions related to financial analysis’s graphical method development, the necessity for which has arisen from organizations management need in the objective and comprehensive information on these organizations’ financial status. The offered graphic way of book-keeping report indices visualization as a special diagram hereinafter called the balancegram allows estimate organization’s financial status in general, and the special balancegrams for each object allow make it even by those managers who had not a special financial training. Performance evaluations of financial analysis objects have been presented graphically in this paper, as well as a graphical correlation of factor indicators for the absolute, normal, acceptable low, unacceptably low degrees of organization’s financial solvency and insolvency. Factor indicators are noncurrent assets, stores taking into account the input value added tax, including not for sale part of stores, permanent capital, normal sources of work equipment and stocks. For credit rating a graphical ratio of factor indicators for the absolute, sufficient, low degrees of solvency and insolvency has been presented. Discounting assets ( which are the sum of monetary resources and short-term financial investments, half of accounts receivable’s total value, third part of stores taking into account the input value added tax, income-bearing placements and long-term financial investments) are posted in the left side of the balancegram. In the right side have been represented discounting liabilities consisted of amount of accounts payable, half of short-term loans (borrowings), one third of long-term liabilities. Also in the balancegram’s left side is given the division of discounted liabilities at quarters to determine the degree of solvency. Estimate of low, medium and high probability of bankruptcy has been presented by the ratio of main factor indices for assets and liabilities. Assets comprise monetary resources, short-term financial investments, stores taking into account the input value added tax, in particular the saleable part of the stores. Liabilities comprise the short-term ones. Graphic method is applied not only in real economy organizations, but also in private pension funds, and leasing companies.

China's foreign policy has been characterized in the last decade by a heightened interest in reaching out to Latin America, particularly to countries rich in natural resources and with potential markets for Chinese exports, and Chile is one of these countries. The paper shows that even though the Chilean economy has benefitted from the signing of the FTA, it also faces potential risks. To continue to benefit, Chile needs to boost exports in other potential export sectors (value-added products or services) and should attempt to attract more Chinese FDI to Chile's export industry. The export of raw materials (particularly nonrenewable ones) is not always sustainable in the long term. The roles of the Chilean state and the private sector in attracting Chinese investment and enhancing diversification of exports of value-added products are crucial for the future of the economy of Chile and its relationship with China.
